William Hadwen House, 96 Main St Nantucket, Nantucket County, MA
One of the most elaborate examples of Greek revival architecture in Nantucket. The Hadwein-Satler House, 96 Main Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, was built for silversmith/whale oil merchant William Hadwen from Newport, Rhode Island, by architect Frederick Brown Coleman in 1844. This residence, adjacent to the Hadwen-Wright House at 94 Main Street, HABS No. MASS. 905, 1966), represents the culminations of the Greek Revival style on Nantucket. The clapboard structure has a five-bay facade with tetrastyle Ionic portico further articulated by tall pilasters. The plan of the house centers on a stairhall, but, unlike mansions built immediately preceeding it, does not have double parlors on either side of the stairhall. The structure was purchased from the Hadwen family in 1923 by Mr. Charles E. Satler and was given as a gift to the Nantucket Historical Association in 1963 by Jean S. Williams, daughter of Mrs. Satler.
